Chapter 403 Temptation and Disagreement!
"This software can listen to songs online and download them."

What Fadell did was a demonstration of the most core function, so Roger Evans understood it at a glance.

And after saying this, Roger Evans' face changed slightly, because he has realized that once such software becomes popular, combined with MP3 players, it will definitely have a huge impact on the record industry. shock.

After Lin Xiao saw Roger Evans' face, he was able to roughly guess what the other party was thinking, so he immediately said:

"Yes, Mr. Roger. At present, the music we download is copied to the server music library by purchasing CDs, and it is not open to users."

After Lin Xiao said this, Roger Evans' face looked a little better.

Lin Xiao also continued, "And this is why we approached Mr. Roger to cooperate."

"You want to get our music copyright authorization?" Roger Evans quickly responded.

Lin Xiao also nodded directly and said, "Yes, I..."

"No, it's impossible!"

Before Lin Xiao could speak again, Roger Evans rejected Lin Xiao without hesitation.

"It would have a huge impact on our record sales, and you should be very clear that no music company would want to see that."

Lin Xiao was not surprised by Roger Evans' direct refusal. He continued and said:
"Yes, this model will have a certain impact on the music company's physical records, but it has given the music company another way to make money."

"In fact, even without the emergence of Gplayer and Gpod, this will still be a trend. More and more people are used to listening to music on computers instead of CD players. When they go out, they will gradually put down Walkman, then pick up the MP3 player."

Lin Xiao analyzed Roger Evans rationally and said:
"Mr. Roger is no stranger to piracy on the Internet. In fact, if piracy is rampant, it will be beneficial to the sales of Gpod, because users can get the music they want more easily."

"However, we don't support users to do this, so we set the transfer of Gpod to one-way. Users can only transfer from computer to Gpod, but they cannot transfer music from Gpod to computer."

"I hope that while providing convenience for music lovers and making profits for the company, it will not harm other people's interests as much as possible."

When Lin Xiao said this, Roger Evans nodded slightly, and said, "I know this setting, which is why I am willing to meet you today."

Lin Xiao smiled when he heard what Roger Evans said, and then said immediately:

"Mr. Roger, in fact, at this point, we have the same purpose, right? We hope that more people will hear genuine music."

"My original intention of making Gplayer is actually to see that many people are downloading pirated songs on the Internet. I hope that everyone can continue to support genuine CDs while enjoying the convenience, so I launched Gplayer earlier than Gpod."

While talking, Lin Xiao casually opened several websites where pirated music can be downloaded on the computer, and then said to Roger Evans again:
"However, music piracy is still inevitable because it's still so cumbersome that people need to buy CDs, convert them, and then transfer them to their handheld music players."

"In fact, many music lovers in the United States still respect the original version, but they can download and obtain the songs they want more conveniently from pirated websites."

"In this case, why don't we provide a channel where we can download the genuine version?"

After hearing Lin Xiao's rhetorical question, Roger Evans fell silent for a while, and began to think seriously about Lin Xiao's words.

Lin Xiao didn't interrupt the other party at this time. After a while, Roger Evans raised his head to look at Lin Xiao again.

"Will there be another situation, when people download music, they will spread the music source more conveniently on the Internet."

"This kind of worry is necessary, but we can prevent it through some means." Fadell interjected at the moment.

Roger Evans looked over, and Fadell said immediately: "For example, we can only allow songs to be transmitted to Gpod through software settings, because our Gpod does not have the reverse transmission function, and songs will no longer be uploaded to other computers."

"In order to avoid someone buying a song and helping many people download it, we can also set the number of downloads for each song and transfer it to different devices."

After hearing this, Roger Evans asked in surprise, "Are all of these okay? Sorry, I don't know much about computer technology."

"Of course." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Mr. Roger, your company can express its concerns, and we can solve them through technical means."

Roger Evans nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "I need to organize the company personnel to study this together."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Lin Xiao and asked, "What about the cooperation model? How to make money, and then how to distribute the profits?"

This is undoubtedly a very core question. Lin Xiao also knew that when Roger Evans asked this question, it actually represented that the other party had a preliminary interest in cooperation between the two parties.

And the question Roger Evans asked at this time is also related to whether this cooperation can really be achieved.

Negotiation, to put it bluntly, is the distribution of benefits, and the two parties have approved the distribution plan, which means that the cooperation is basically negotiated.

So at this time, Lin Xiao cheered up. Of course, he would not throw his hole cards all at once, but said:

"My initial idea is that users can recharge to buy and download music. Each song is 99 cents, and we both share 55 cents."

Roger Evans frowned immediately when he heard it, and he shook his head without any hesitation, just like when he heard Lin Xiao asked for music authorization, he refused very decisively.

"This is impossible! Lin, in your plan, there are two principled issues that Warner cannot accept."

"Tell me."

After hearing what Roger Evans said, Lin Xiao was not in a hurry.

Didn't the other party immediately refuse to object when they first heard about the music authorization?In the end, it was not a little tempting.

So at this time, he wanted to hear what Roger Evans didn't want to accept, and then try to convince them.

Roger Evans did not speak directly at this time, but seemed a little hesitant.

At this time, Mike Grenfell on the side took the initiative to say: "I may know what Mr. Roger is worried about."
